Somebody (I thought it was WongCK) posted somewhere that whenever attempting to access the forum using one of the alias DNS names (Jackintosh-forum.com / ourtai-forum.com / fuji-forum.com) the site would always redirect to http://www.atari-forum.com. This can cause an issue if, for example, a company proxy server blocks atari-forum.com but allows access via an alias (Not the kind of behaviour I would personally condone of course - circumventing company proxies is often frowned upon in a big way!).

While working on the test site, I stumbled across the cause of this behaviour while debugging a similar issue. It was down to a nasty hack in one of the PHP files (probably my fault) that always hard coded the URL back to http://www.atari-forum.com. I can only guess I meant to do this as a temporary thing for some reason but lord only knows why I chose such a hideous approach to a forced redirect...

This has been removed and now DNS aliases are working properly.

Sorry it took a while, I honestly can't remember how (or even why) this code got in, but it's fixed now!

Content blocking ought to be the way to go for. Domain name blocking is not efficient at all. My guess is that forums are actually Ok for the company i worked for as atariage and atari-home.de seems to have no issues for accessing.
